American Restaurants near Newcastle

“We go to NPH quite a bit. The food is always consistent. The Angry Al's oysters are wonderful. The Rueben sandwich, always up to par. This time I swayed from my usual Rueben, and had the pub burger, which was great. The disappointment this visit was our waitress. It felt like she was in a hurry to get rid of us. This came to light when I was going to ask for the dessert menu, and she plopped down the check without any eye contact, and rushed off. The hostess actually took care of the check. It wasn't close to closing time, or anything. I hope her day got better.“

“When Red's has a line down the street (which is 90% of the time), going to Sprague's is a no brainer. Their food is incredibly reasonably priced and offers exactly what you would expect. The lobster dinner is truly a great price for what you get! I love sitting out on the deck and watching the seagulls on the water. The area also includes a very sweet little stand in which you can buy jams and other canned goods, as well as a small little building with some information on the history of the area. The staff is friendly and personable, and truly makes the atmosphere comfortable and authentically "Maine". It is truly family business -- the type that I love to support. Just know that it is cash/check only and there is an ATM on site.“

“Very friendly staff . Cute place by water. Happened to stumble on this place driving through and were so glad we stopped. The truckers knot with roastbeef was the best ? I've ever had. The flavor was out of this world. The coleslaw The fresh roast beef and the sauce they put on it. We would come back just for that. Must try this place out .“

“This region is so fortunate to have such an amazing take out option. In terms of service, quality and price, this place has no local equal. They are open 5 days a week, and offer a (mostly) regular, rotating menu that cycles through differing themes: Mexican, Pizza, Burgers, etc. Unlike most places that try to do too much and can't deliver consistent quality, VIP keeps their rotating nightly menu small enough that every single offering is of the highest quality and has a distinctly unique twist. I have now tried the burgers, pizza, tacos and enchiladas - all phenomenal. They have a lot of seafood options, which I don't eat, but others I know have raved about it. Portions are on the smaller side (as is the price), but satisfying and filling. For example, the burger bun is the size of the actual burger it contains, so you don't get loaded down with extra carbs, like most places. And the meals always come with an excellent side, such as homemade mac & cheese, or (amazing) beans and rice.I've been visiting this region for over 40 years, and often lamented at the lack of good, affordable food. VIP is the solution I never expected, but I am so grateful they opened. Their format is to offer early pre-ordering on Facebook each day, to ensure they don't run out of your preferred meal, but they can also accommodate on-the-spot orders (not the recommended method, as they are very popular, and stuff does run out). This format is an added bonus during the COVID crisis, where social distancing is still highly advised. I would eat here every day, if cost and calories were not a consideration. There are plenty of food pics on their Facebook page. They can be found one property past Dee's Variety (going South), just at the turn onto Huddle Road, on Rt 130 (Bristol Road).facebook.com/visitvip“

“Love this place!! I feel like I’m with family! Great food, great atmosphere, great company! Pizza is one of my favorites! Big Mac pizza is new.. and amazing! Drinks are good, food is all home made and the owner is there every day. Great place. I highly recommend a visit!“

“The service was amazing. The people were so nice. Dining out with a toddler can be challenging and the staff were well prepared with friendly faces and coloring books. The food was great. My husband was especially happy with his rib eye and I didn't try it but heard the fried clams were delicious. I would definitely go back.“

“We sampled appetizers, entrees, non-alcoholic cocktails and desserts. All of the dishes were creative but not wacky. Extremely fresh and flavourful. And balanced! The mocktails were convincing and delicious. The atmosphere is cozy and a little rustic but classy as well. A hard balance to strike. Our waitress was charming and genuine. I will definitely be back. It's worth a drive.“

“Quaint outdoor experience for really good lunch fare. Very pleasant staff. We had Haddock chowder, fries, zucchini fries, lobster roll,fish sandwich, coleslaw, chili-cheese dog and shakes. All was yummy. Better lobster roll than we had in Portland!“

“We had 630 reservations and our table was ready for us. Be aware that there is a second floor - in case you have someone with trouble walking up stairs. Food was very good. My mussels were good but could have used a spoon and small fork to eat them. Had to use my fingers and regular sized fork. Also could have used a bowl for the shells. Otherwise service was excellent - our server was attentive and didn’t rush us. Sort of felt bad for him having to bring the food orders up the stairs… luckily the bar was on the same floor. Would return if I return to this area.“
